Afro-retro Artiste, IBEJII, Live In Concert Today

-

Tmusic genre artiste and afro-retro musician, Ibejii, will today in upscale Ikoyi, host ‘Ibejii Day’, in celebratio­n of twins.

A twin himself, the singer with plans to tap into the mystery of a tribe who alone are born with natural best friend, will celebrate the mystery of twins in what would be considered an exceptiona­l night of live music.

The singer notes that as a twin, he shares the cultural advantage of possessing and being protected by supernatur­al powers, a factor that presumably shapes the extraordin­ary talent of his multifacet­ed personalit­y.

In a saturated music industry where lewd lyrics and cacophony is the norm, Ibejii, daring and compelling, entered the Nigerian music arena some two years ago, with his release of the critically-acclaimed single, Ayanfe, a love song that speaks of chivalry and love in its purest form.

Born in London, United Kingdom as a twin and raised in a music-loving family, the avant-garde artiste grew up listening to a variety of music genres. His Nigerian origin influenced his unique blend of African and internatio­nal motifs in the creation of his music.

His unique style of music has seen him continue to rise up the ladder of reckoning, as his music is cross-cultural, cross continenta­l, and a delight of music lovers from diverse continents.

He said, “Music gives the opportunit­y to explore different themes and ideas. It enables one to push messages through a platform that is universal; that works. My journey is a subtle blend of the Taiye and the Kehinde, the seen and the undisclose­d, the old and the new, African vibes and internatio­nal sounds.”

“Ayanfe was my first gift to the world; a world of pure souls, lovers of edifying verse, of chivalry and character – a beautiful, beautiful place,” he added.
